Revisiting misfolding propensity of serum amyloid A1: Special focus on the signal peptide region

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2022
AA amyloidosis is the result of overproduction and aberrant processing of acute-phase serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) by hepatocytes. Proteolytic cleavage of SAA1 is believed to play a central role in AA amyloid formation.

Reference intervals of acute phase proteins in healthy Andalusian donkeys and response to experimentally induced endotoxemia

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021
Background Assessment of acute phase proteins (APPs) may allow prompt detection of diseases in donkeys, that otherwise may be missed because of the stoic behavior of donkeys.

Elevated serum amyloid A level predicts severity of radiological lung involvement in hospitalized children with COVID-19

Ain Shams Medical Journal, 2023
Introduction: Several biomarkers were studied in COVID-19 for risk stratification and monitoring disease progression. We investigated dynamics of serum amyloid A in children hospitalized with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.

HGA Triggers SAA Aggregation and Accelerates Fibril Formation in the C20/A4 Alkaptonuria Cell Model

Cells
Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD) gene, leading to the accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA), causing severe inflammatory conditions.

Serum Amyloid A in Preeclampsia

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 2020
Abstract Background Preeclampsia is a common complication of pregnancy and remains a common cause of maternal and fetal mortality. The clinical symptoms of preeclampsia are caused by widespread endothelial dysfunction suggested to be a part of an exaggerated maternal inflammatory response to pregnancy.

Cross-Species Amyloid-like Features Shared by Mammalian and Clostridioides difficile Proteins

Microorganisms
Functional amyloids are widely distributed in bacteria and play important roles in biofilm formation and microbial physiology. However, most currently known bacterial amyloids have been identified through sequence homology to a limited number of ...

Case report: Rapid development of amyloid A amyloidosis in temporal arteritis with SAA1.3 allele; An unusual case of intestinal amyloidosis secondary to temporal arteritis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Temporal arteritis (TA) is a large-vessel vasculitis mostly seen in older patients. Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis secondary to a chronic inflammation induces multiple organ dysfunctions, including a dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract.

The Inhibition of Serum Amyloid A Protein Aggregation by a Five-Residue Peptidomimetic: Structural and Morphological Insights

Molecules
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a small protein consisting of 104 residues and, under physiological conditions, exists mainly in hexameric form. It belongs to the positive acute-phase proteins, which means that its plasma concentration increases rapidly in ...
